For those with the cup kit...

okay, i just ordered the H&R cup kit along with my rims (19x8.5 & 19x9.5)

and before i attempt to install it on my car, I was just wondering what was the perfect combination of spring pads (front and back) that went along with the cup kit

Sorry but I tried using search but most of the posts were outdated so most or all of the pix didnt work

so if possible, for those with the cup kit installed can you please post pix of your car and mention what spring pads (front and rear) you are using

no gap or just a "even tiny gap" is the look im pretty much going for

thanks again for the help guys, and ill definitely post pix when my car is all done

it all depends on how low you want to go???

i have numebr 1's all around with the cupkit and the front is slighty lower then the rear which i like.......you can go with number 1 in the rear with a number 3 in the front and it'll be even all around........

will i need to roll my fenders if i go #1's all around?, because as much as possible i dont want to roll them, BUT if i need to, will just #2's in the front be enough for it not to rub

also just SOMETIMES i ride with alot of passengers in my car, so will the #1 pads all around hold up in the back or will it scrape the fenderwall (only in the back) and this is just when i have a full load of people in the car

sorry for the questions, but this is the only thing that is holding me back

thanks

also pix would be nice if possible

Will it be okay if I go with #2 pads all around? I think i seen a silver w210 and Im not really too sure but I THINK he said he has #2 pads all around and i really liked that look. I think hes the silver one in your sig cuz he had carrlson rims too.
